#1 of 3 1996 Nissan Maxima Setting up Sound System by andomaxima Dec 20, 2008 (2:00 pm)
I recently got a 1996 nissan maxima base model from my dad. It does not have the bose system. It is the maxima with the tape and am/fm player. I bought a subwoofer and I have an amp at home and the head unit. My cousin is going to be hooking everything up but he said I need things like wiring "taps" and wiring kits and an adapter. Can someone please tell me all the specific wires and adapters I need. If you need to know the subwoofer it is a THUMP AT-8 800 watt with 2 10's and I'm not sure about the head unit or the amp but I will reply the models of those if needed. Thank you for all your help
#2 of 3 Satellite radio with base stereo? by tonycd Jun 23, 2009 (12:06 pm)
The sales creatures told me today that Nissan has now made it flat-out 100% impossible (except for FM modulation, which I'm not interested in) to retrofit satellite radio to the base model's stereo as an integrated in-dash installation.   He insisted that the absolute only choice on Earth was to buy the pricier option packages that incorporate it into the Bose stereo.   True? False?
#3 of 3 2009-current Bose Audio System by smarty666 Oct 27, 2009 (6:11 pm)
just an FYI about the Bose Audio System for those who don't have it but are thinking of upgrading to it; the current Maxima has 9 speakers, 5 in the front and four in the back; if you are in the front seats of the car the Bose is absolutely wonderful and you are surrounded by audio and bass which makes for a great experience; but the Bose system is absolutely lousy for backseat passengers; only the two speakers on the bottom portions of the rear doors have mild audio come out of them; the two gigantic speakers in the back window housing produce bass and tone only with no audio; I've never had a car, until this one, where the rear window speakers have no audio coming of them; since these speakers are closer to the person's head if audio comes out of them it sounds a lot closer but since they don't anyone sitting in the backseat, the music sounds low and distant; I've tried to get used to it but the listening experience in the backseats just stinks; luckily I drive the car most of the time and get to benefit from the better experience in the front of the car; if anything Nissan should reverse the rear speaker set up and have the audio up in the rear window and the bass on both doors like they do for the front speakers!
